A legal team’s job is to help companies meet compliance obligations and avoid legal pitfalls. The standards they establish are essential to enforce across an organization. It’s especially critical to keep sensitive information out of the wrong hands. There may be many occasions when you need to release or share a document while facing a requirement to keep some of that data secret. You can confidently meet that requirement with the ImageTech Redaction Modules in the Tungsten Marketplace.

Integrating redaction workflows and capabilities into your automation ecosystem can increase your trust in the outcomes. Businesses face many issues that require redactions. Let’s explore those pain points to demonstrate how this solution excels.

Problems Facing Redaction Workflows Now

Requirements for the redaction of confidential information aren’t uncommon in many organizations. However, these workflows can suffer from several issues that can cause concerns for an organization. There’s no shortage of stories in the media about poor security inadvertently revealing sensitive information. These issues stem from several problems, such as:

• A meager understanding of correctly applying redactions and lacking the right tools.
• Highly manual processes for large-scale redaction jobs.
• Difficulty in identifying or locating all instances of data to be redacted.
• Errors and oversights.

Advanced workflow automation can support improving this process. With Marketplace solutions from Tungsten Titanium Partner ImageTech, you can combat each of these concerns.

What Are the Redaction Modules?

This Marketplace solution is an add-on module that works with several Tungsten products, including Transformation, TotalAgility, and Capture. The goal is simple: to provide organizations with an easier way to handle this critical compliance task. The modules support effective ad hoc redactions by hand and several methods to automate the process.

Key Features and Functionality to Note

By integrating the Redaction Modules, teams gain valuable functionality they can apply to many compliance situations. There are three main modes of functionality to consider.

First: Ad-hoc adds manual redaction capabilities within the Tungsten workflow environment. With this module activated, users can select documents for redaction and then draw boxes around the data to remove. The redactions become permanent when you exit the modules. This way, users can quickly black out specific information as needed.

The second module supports automated redaction of structured forms, that is, forms that always follow the same types of structure. This solution supports identifying redaction zones where sensitive information always exists. This information could include names, birthdays, Social Security numbers and more.

Upon identifying redaction zones, the module automatically blacks out the area. There’s no need for the user to intervene. However, you can use this mode with the ad-hoc module to provide a human review stage for increased confidence in the results.

Finally, there is also the option to use Tungsten Transformation with an unstructured document redaction module. Users can define the items requiring redaction before applying the module to a document. These may be patterns (such as SSNs), specific phrases or even individual words. Once defined, the module automatically redacts them, again without intervention. Like the structured data module, you may incorporate a review stage to confirm complete redaction.

The Advantages of Deploying This Solution

With this solution, it’s possible to improve the speed and quality of your redaction processes significantly. Build more confidence in compliance procedures and worry less about vital information slipping through the cracks. Improved permanent redaction capabilities lead to a lower risk of data leaks. With direct integration into Tungsten workflows, you don’t have to exit the automation environment or use external software to redact documents. It’s fast, cost-effective and thorough—just what you need from this process.
